Last Week Tonight with John Oliver live stream: Watch tonight’s new March 19th episode online
By Hector Cruz
Watch the latest episode of “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” live online as it airs on HBO.
Before the fourth season of Last Week Tonight began last month, John Oliver vowed that Donald Trump wouldn’t be the topic of conversation every episode, but the president has made it hard for the comedian to avoid discussing things like his latest Twitter outburst, such as his wiretapping accusation against his predecessor, Barack Obama.
While Oliver did manage to score a rare interview with the Dalai Lama two weeks ago and did a segment on the ruthlessness of Vladimir Putin last month, he’s mostly dedicated airtime to discussing the Republican alternative to Obamacare, generically dubbed the American Healthcare Act, including addressing Trump directly by buying airtime during Fox & Friends in the D.C. market to explain why the GOP replacement bill will be bad for his base of supporters.
It’s been another busy news cycle this week, which the Last Week Tonight Twitter account sarcastically referenced in a pair of tweets teasing tonight’s new episode:
Among the topics that Oliver can choose from include Trump’s budget cut proposals, the president’s awkward White House meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel where he snubbed her request for a handshake and doubled down on his wiretap claims despite push back from his own party, his angering of the British government for citing a report alleging that they spied on him during the campaign on behalf of Obama, the upcoming congressional vote on the Republican’s healthcare plan, and the defeat of Geert Wilders, nicknamed the “Dutch Donald Trump.”
